This is balanced, isn't it?

CU(NO3)2 --> CUO+2NO2+O2

The mark scheme says it's not balanced, either my mind is playing tricks on me as I am exhausted or ed excel are wrong, probably not the latter but seriously

Left: right:

Cu=1 Cu=1
N=2 N=2

O=6 O=6


WTH?! AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

How about having a go of this one:

For an extension activity.
